Conference Presentation: National Heritage Academies

I had the opportunity to take an old school approach on an internal presentation for National Heritage Academies, based out of Grand Rapids. The presentation illustrations were approved on a Thursday, after many revisions to both the art direction and the actual presentation, and the assets were needed for the conference that following Monday. There wasn’t the luxury of time to special order presentation boards, as the team needed to be packed up for travel by Sunday morning. To get them ready in time, all the artwork had to be done by hand right on the boards. It was an awesome challenge.

Brainstorm process.

Style test.

Drawing the final illustrations.

My favorite!

The final centerpiece.

The final presentation consisted of four boards total, all bearing velcro pieces of data that emphasized the speech given during the presentation.

A final 3D element to tie it all together.

Everything penned by me was made with just foam core and sharpies. The data pieces were printed in-house and attached with 3M velcro hooks. Everything was completed within three days between me and my project manager. It was a blast. :)
